Moveable Feast: TCF Bank Stadium

Moveable Feast: TCF Bank Stadium

The Vikings play their home opener this weekend at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus. This area is almost unrecognizable since the Green Line started a year ago; so many new developments, including new food and drink establishments.

Sure, there are the classics like Al's Breakfast, and the Loring Pasta Bar that have been there forever, but the neighborhood has been upgrading for the past few years.

Before the rail went in, Republic opened, which has a "better" pub vibe, with a ton of craft taps, and delicious burgers made from bison, duck, or lamb.

The new Commons Hotel is definitely the nicest place to stay on campus — a very hip, swank, playful vibe. Rachel had a mixed experience with the food at its Beacon Public House restaurant, but since that was right when it opened, she says it would be worth another visit to try it again.

There are tons of cheap, generic, chain fast-food places in that area, so it's been nice to see a couple of nicer local chains come into the market. First, My Burger — a great burger and fries joint — and One Two Three Sushi — whose name is also self-explanatory — with tasty rolls and ramen.
